Insider Guide: Baltimore, Maryland

Palm Beach makeup artist Deborah Koepper has styled everyone from celebrities to first ladies, worked on countless editorials and fashion shows, and even launched her own cosmetics line. Koepper owes her work ethic to her upbringing in Baltimore, Maryland.

Today, the founder of Deborah Koepper Beauty frequently returns to savor the outdoors and catch up with family.
